Professor Xavier has seen the need to create a school that encompasses grades 11th and 12th and combine that with college learning courses. The mutant revolution, those who see themselves as homosuperior and who have titled themselves as Anarchy X, grows stronger, their propaganda appealing to more and more free thinking youngsters in this day and age.

The Independents, a neutral party, also takes a lot of mutant teens and young adults that just want peace but often stick their heads in the sand and let others do the fighting. They want peace and freedom but they have a bit of a 'Not In My Backyard' philosophy.

Professor X has seen that both of these factions are leading people away from civic duty and responsibility, using their mutation as an excuse rather than a solution and a reason for peace. For this reason, he has created a school to cater to those young adults that gives them a place to learn and express themselves in constructive ways.

He wants to guide the youth to find peace and equality, but can he do so with so many temptations about?

1. Believability (Do you shoot lazers from your ass? If yes, please don't bother.)2. Realistic power & Control for the age of the student. (This does not mean your character can be 407 years old and a freshman because they don't age.)3. NON-CANON with NON-CANON powers. You are allowed ONE major power, and TWO minors. Anything more powerful than this will be IGNORED. Please do not waste our time, or yours by wanting to play something ridiculous, such as undead, ET, or baby Jesus (as examples).4. Power wise, we're full up on empaths, so those of ya wanting to dominate all emotions, you're kinda SoL for now.

Most importantly, we're looking for those of you willing to work with us as GM's to find an acceptable way to mold the character to fit both the rules that are set forth in the directory, as well as the uniqueness that you may offer to the game. Be creative !

Interest.

Fill out a bio here and we will discuss your biography. We will tell you if we want you to transfer it over to the Bio thread. Note that we are no longer allowing students from Great Britain or Japan. Please keep chatter not pertaining to the game out of the recruitment thread. Players are not allowed to post in the OOC thread until their characters are approved.

Well, as soon as we get up and running, there will most likely be multiple threads tossed up into the directory for different parts of the house as well as different areas outside/off campus (when we get to that point).

What is the expectation regarding power limitations for an original character? It seems fairly obvious that, say, Colossus doesn't have access to his superhuman strength or durability unless he's transformed, and when he is transformed he suffers more or less due to being made of organic steel, but others such as Wolverine seem to have no particular limitations at all.

Heritage, the way we have it set up, each character is allowed One major power, and two minor. Each of the powers *will* have a flaw to it, so as to not allow one person to be indestructible, all powerful, and boring. Hence the character sheets being run through myself and Secret before approval. She and I are fairly flexible and easy to work with, so working something out to get the desired effects that you wish really shouldn't be a problem.

Like he said, it's basically to keep those that want to run in Godmode and be indestructible, no flaws or weaknesses out of the game. A person playing an obvious Mary Sue character is well... hard to play with and it keeps others from having fun. Especially if others refuse to play with someone b/c they're running amok with not having a way to be called into check.

Powers:Major: Instant memorization (Photographic) - Memorizes any and all information he comes across near instantlyMinor: Extraordinary reflexes - Reflexes bordering on pre-cognition (only within line of sight)Minor: Power Drain (Electrical) - Drains electricity from nearby sources as needed (required for mutated powers to function)

Minor: Extraordinary reflexes - Often uncontrolled due to the speed of the reactions. (I.e., Dont sneak up on him ! - A bloody nose will likely be the result!)

Minor: Power Drain (Electrical) - Needs to drain electrical current in order for all of his other powers to function. Without a source of electricity to "charge" his brain, he's just like any other normal non-mutant.

An example of the powers of one of the characters that have been approved.

If you can give examples of what you're after, we can work with you and get it working.

Powers:Major: Resistant to FireMinor: Healing of herself and othersMinor: Static shock… minor pain but a great party favor. When angered it can paralyze someone for all of about a minute.

Power Limitations:Major: Resistant to Fire - Cannot start fires, or control fire in any way, it just doesn't burn her. She is resistant to smoke. Minor: Healing of herself and others - If she's healing others, she can't heal herself at the same time. She has to choose others over herself or herself over others at any given point. This ability fades when over used and has to recharge. Minor: Static shock - it's a very small ability, it might get stronger, but if it does, one of her other abilities will fade.
